Lunchtime in Germany! We had Petra´s award winning noodle salad and sausages. Add a [B] to it and you have one of a sumptuous meal! As long as I stay inside, I fell alright. The moment I go outside, well, that´s still a different story. As the weather is not really nice here, I am not tempted to go outside. My Swiss friend finally has sold his (unfinished) Marklin layout and is now progressing on his plan for a new, Rhaetian Railway themed layout. We have been exchanging numerous emails yesterday afternoon and this morning, just to add the final detail and thoughts to his ideas (or were they mine? [:-,]) Like many of the European layouts, it is more of a display layout, but based on the actual situation to be found at Station Ospizio Bernina on the Bernina line. Operation differs heavily from what you folks now - hardly any switching operation. It is mainly passenger operation, with an occasional mixed train passing through. There are no freight trains on the Bernina line, whatever goods have to be transported, are pulled by passenger trains. Main staple is gasoline from an Italian Refinery, or lumber, with the occasional container load thrown in. The Bernina line´s main purpose is passenger trains, for tourists visiting this part of the Alps. Well, here is the now final plan: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RHBBERNINAHOSPIZA.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> Knowing Pascal´s landscaping skills, I know that this will turn into an awesome looking layout! I am glad I can be of help to him! The German manufacturer Bemo has nearly the complete roster available, making this line a popular line to model, not only in Switzerland. At close to $ 400 for a DC model of one (!)  of these rail cars, not a cheap choice, though. Have a rewarding day!
